A place to post my paintings and drawings so I can think about them and learn from them.

Here's a little 5 x 7 acrylic that I'm happy with. I don't think I'll paint over it. I finished it 3/17/08. I worked hard on the background to put a lot of colors in it. Also,I used a projector to trace the pattern in the background from a picture.

It's really hard to take a picture of a page out of Time Magazine without glare. In my effort to adjust the color and contrast to minimize the glare, I overdid it a bit. I will post a picture of my painting alone below. This is John McCain, my first attempt to paint a man. Men are harder to paint than women.

I see that with McCain and Laura Bush I have painted two Republicans. I will try to find a Democrat to paint to balance things out.

Welcome

I started this blog to post some of my paintings and drawings. Many of them are just practice paintings which I will eventually paint over. Since I won't be keeping them, I thought I would post them here so I can analyze them, decide what I did right, what went wrong, etc.

If you are just passing through and have some knowledge of art, please feel free to make constructive comments or give advice.
